After yesterdays fun and game we stayed in bed a little longer this morning. Holly said that it was the Doggy Cake and Carrots and Shortbread and Muggings and Chicken Fillets and the Anti Hair Ball Nibbles from the Ferrets!

Staying in bed later means we meet up with all the woofers out for their early morning stroll. They were all there, from Bailey all the way down to little Bo who thought Holly was wonderful!

The Gathering!

Every one of them wished us a Happy Birthday for yesterday and we were told about some remedies for full tums!

The only one who wasn't enjoying her self was Miss Snowflake. She got chased by Poppy every time OTL put her onto the grass path. We even took another path back to the car but Poppy still followed us and ran after us every time she saw OTL bend down!

So, Snowflake got a short run today, mind you, she didn't mind too much 'cos she likes a cuddle with OTL and she can enjoy the sniffs from a lot higher up than normal!

We spent the morning on our new beds while OTL cleared up all the Ferret Poo and tidied up their cages.

OTL is getting a little worried about the bone growth on Snowflakes back, not that it is stopping her from charging about and playing games with OTL, it's just that it's getting bigger, so, tonight she is off to the vet for a 'Consultation' which means OTL will be crying again!

Lunch time it was still overcast but there was no wind and the wormy men were out digging holes again, which amused Miss May. She reckons they are potty digging all the worms up and then throwing them back when the tide comes in!

Why not just leave the worms in the ground?

Even though it wasn't raining and there was little or no wind, Miss April still tried to blag a ride back to the car. Having done her 'Stuff' she said there was no reason to be on her paws when OTL could quite easily carry her back!

I'm not moving at all, so you will have to carry me!

OTL was having none of that, he insisted she have a run along the grass path and enjoy the sniffs!

Mind you, April did try the old 'Poor Little Me' but that didn't work either!

If I don't get a carry, I'll cry!

In the end she got a carry off the beach but got put down when she got to the grass path!

OTL and Snowflake have just left for the vet, I'm not sure who I feel most sorry for, Snowflake or OTL!

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
